Since rock walls do not contain any cementing material, the runoff water is retained, filtered, and slowly released through the existing crevasses.From theCambridge English Corpus
Transported logs and wood fragments occur in siltstone and sandstone units variously interpreted as river channel deposits, flood deposits andcrevassesplay deposits.From theCambridge English Corpus
In clear weather they got across the final crevasses and moved down just ahead of a descending cloud base.From theCambridge English Corpus
They found that acrevasse15 km in height in an ice shell 75 km thick would trap y4.9r109 m3 of ammonia- water.From theCambridge English Corpus
Each time you move from one gallery to another you cross the line of acrevasseand glimpse the horizon.From theCambridge English Corpus
These sheer crevasses provide a strongly contained view of the horizon.From theCambridge English Corpus
Sheeted sandstone deposits representcrevassesplays, which deposited sand more uniformly in overbank areas.From theCambridge English Corpus

The overbank areas received influxes of coarse and fine sediment as sheet flows andcrevassesplays, but were sufficiently stable to allow the formation of soils.From theCambridge English Corpus
These typically low-lying areas with respect to the river channels are characterized by the facies architecture that indicatescrevassesplay and suspended fall-out of fine-grained sedimentation.From theCambridge English Corpus
A team of 30 specialists flew in, but not before radar and satellite images had been used to plot the position of everycrevassein the vicinity.From theCambridge English Corpus
Mitri et al. (in review) have shown that ammonia-water mixtures can erupt from such an ocean by bottomcrevasseformation and subsequent transport by convective motions in the ice shell.From theCambridge English Corpus
